Manikis will be responsible for the development of all of Wyndham Hotel Group's brands in the EMEA
region as well as maximising the performance of all new and
existing franchise and managed hotels. He will focus on driving the
strategic objectives of Wyndham Hotel Group including quality and
technology solutions as well as loyalty, sales and marketing.

A 27-year veteran of RCI, the worldwide leader in vacation
exchange with more than 4,300 affiliated resorts in nearly 110
countries, Manikis possesses deep knowledge of the hospitality
industry, an extensive network and strong relationships with
developers and customers across the EMEA region. He recently served
as VP business development for RCI EMEA.

"The EMEA region has a diverse hospitality landscape and is
witnessing exciting trends such as the emergence of new feeder
markets, a younger demographic and fast-paced technology adoption.
With our focus on providing everyday travellers with a breadth of
choice, we have cemented our reputation as the industry leader,"
said Bob Loewen, Wyndham Hotel Group's chief operating officer.
"Dimitris' wealth of experience in the shared ownership industry
and strong relationships with hospitality providers across EMEA
make him an ideal professional to lead our operations in this
rapidly growing region."

Manikis said: "I am looking forward to strengthening the
operations and footprint of Wyndham Hotel Group in EMEA, a region I
have been associated with for nearly three decades. With the robust
performance of the industry in several key markets in EMEA last
year, the potential for Wyndham Hotel Group to expand its
operations further in the region is tremendous."

Wyndham Hotel Group expanded its footprint across EMEA with a
number of significant openings throughout 2017, bringing the total
number of hotels across the region to nearly 470.
